chapter titles /scene selections on blu-rays
I noticed in my Blu-ray cases the paper inserts do not list the title/chapter /Scene selections as fully named like the DVD paper inserts used to.
No not under special features Deleted Scenes.
First a paper insert including the Chapter titles. Who wrote these chapter titles anyway? the home video division?
As an example "Say Anything" (1989) dir. Cameron Crowe

Chapter Thumbnail Menus are usually used to navigate to the scene. Some Blu-rays it is just a scroll bar like on "The Martian" Blu-ray.
Yes I understand with more movies being streamed on-demand that less people use Chapter Thumbnail Menus at all.
Have others noticed a lack of a paper insert including the Chapter titles included with the Blu-ray package? Do you also miss it?
Are there any that definitely include it on paper?
The Criterion Collection for the DVD of "Armeggedon" (1998) dir. Michael Bay did. I don't own any Criterion Collection blu-rays. Anyone can look?

Wouldn't the paper insert just repeat what's on the disc menu?

Re: chapter titles /scene selections on blu-rays
Chapter titles were an art in the heyday of laserdisc. I've noticed Kino Blu-Rays don't even have a chapter menu anymore, guess I should be glad they're chaptered at all- though when I transfer stuff from analog formats to DVD it often gets tiresome to figure out where to put them.
Both Armageddon and Deep Impact have a chapter called "Drawing straws."

I’ll try, but I generally suck at posting pictures here. They never come out in a usable size.
